Genetic ancestry, differential gene expression, and survival in pediatric B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundBlack children have lower incidence yet worse survival than White and Latinx children with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). It is unclear how reported race/ethnicity (RRE) is associated with death in B-ALL after accounting for differentially expressed genes associated with genetic ancestry.
methodsUsing Phase 1 and 2 NCI TARGET B-ALL cases (N = 273; RRE-Black = 21, RRE-White = 162, RRE-Latinx = 69, RRE-Other = 9, RRE-Unknown = 12), we estimated proportions of African (AFR), European (EUR), and Amerindian (AMR) genetic ancestry. We estimated hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) between ancestry and death while adjusting for RRE and clinical measures. We identified genes associated with genetic ancestry and adjusted for them in RRE and death associations.
resultsGenetic ancestry varied within RRE (RRE-Black, AFR proportion: Mean: 78.5%, Range: 38.2%-93.6%; RRE-White, EUR proportion: Mean: 94%, Range: 1.6%-99.9%; RRE-Latinx, AMR proportion: Mean: 52.0%, Range: 1.2%-98.7%). We identified 10, 1, and 6 differentially expressed genes (p
conclusionsOur work highlights B-ALL survival differences by RRE after adjusting for ancestry differentially expressed genes suggesting other factors impacting survival are important.
